Iceland: records to keep

“Law” is a binding rule. “Official guidance” is not law, but inspectors expect it. “Chef Hygiene default” is a value the app checks against where no rule gives a number.

• LawA HACCP-based system with records is required (Regulation 852/2004, Article 5, through Regulation No. 103/2010). Records are kept for an appropriate period.
• Official guidanceKeep temperature, delivery, cleaning and training records. MAST’s own-check booklet gives example forms. Keep the system in one place and available to the inspector.
• Official guidanceUse a cleaning plan (þrifaáætlun) that says what, how, when and who, and record when and by whom cleaning is done. Sinks, worktops, floors and hand basins are cleaned daily; walls, doors and shelves weekly.
• Official guidanceIf you find pests, always call a pest controller (meindýraeyðir). A contract with marked bait points on a plan of the premises is best.
